Liberty Enlightening the World(Statue of Liberty)

 

The statue arrived in New York on June 17, 1885, in 214 specially constructed wooden cases and was reconstructed. On October 28, 1886, the it was dedicated. At the ceremony, President Grover Cleveland, who as Governor of New York had previously vetoed a bill providing funding for the pedestal, accepted the monument on behalf of the American people and promised, “We will not forget that Liberty has here made her home; nor shall her chosen altar be neglected.”


Lady Liberty is inspired by the Roman goddess of liberty. In her right hand, she holds a torch above her head, and in her left hand she carries a tablet inscribed JULY IV MDCCLXXVI (July 4, 1776, in Roman numerals), the date of the Declaration of Independence. The statue is made from 3/32 inch-thick copper and an inner structure of wrought iron and stainless steel. It measures 151 feet high, and if you include the granite pedestal, the total height is around 305 feet.As part of the fundraising effort, in 1883 American poet Emma Lazarus, wrote “The New Colossus.” In it are the words, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.…” The poem was later cast onto a bronze plaque and mounted inside the pedestal’s lower level.


When money for the pedestal ran out in 1884, Joseph Pulitzer was able to raise the rest of the funds by promising to publish the name of every donor in his newspaper, no matter how small the amount given.The pedestal, which the U.S. agreed to build, wasn’t ready nor were funds secured. To raise funds, the hand with the torch was on display at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, and then it was exhibited in Madison Square Park in New York City from 1877 to 1882.As part of the fundraising effort, in 1883 American poet Emma Lazarus, wrote “The New Colossus.” In it are the words, “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.…” The poem was later cast onto a bronze plaque and mounted inside the pedestal’s lower level.
